Clinton Email Scandal: What Did Hillary Crony Admit That Everyone Already Knows?

While being interviewed on WMAL radio in Washington, D.C., Lanny Davis, a longtime Clinton fixer — has any political family ever need more fixing? — told the hosts that he wouldn’t be surprised if Clinton’s private email server had been hacked. It was such a startling admission that host Larry O’Connor had to ask Davis again to make sure that he had not misunderstood him. The second time around, the response was the same.

“I wouldn’t be surprised because the federal government itself has been hacked,” said Davis, “but as of now, no, it hasn’t been hacked.”

No. 1, he can’t know whether it’s been hacked or not. Unless Davis has upgraded his education attending night school, he’s neither a computer forensics expert nor a cybersecurity whiz. He’s merely putting the Clinton spin on it.

No. 2, arguing that it’s OK if Clinton was hacked because “the federal government itself has been hacked” is no argument at all. Yes, the government has been hacked. But the government has layers of security that her homebrew email system didn’t have. It was far more vulnerable to hackers than the secure State Department email that she rejected.

For Lanny to admit this means they are in panic mode.

They should be. When this first came out, I thought Hillary should have recused herself. How could she run knowing she just sold out all the data in the Federal Government? I'm no geek, but I immediately thought, "OMG, she had to be hacked. That private server was a back door to our whole Federal Database. Duuh Hillary!" All of our military secrets, all of our R&D, DARPA, NSA, all the agencies. .

After that, she announced she was running for President. She didn't do the honorable choice by not running and she has never apologized to America. Well, what did we expect?

From the article:

"Indeed, a high-ranking former KGB officer told John R. Schindler, a former national security affairs professor at the Naval War College, that “of course” the Russian foreign intelligence “service got it all” from Clinton’s email, and it didn't’t even have to work hard for it."

and

". . Guccifer, famously claimed that “I used to read (Clinton’s) memos . . . and then do the gardening.” Take his words seriously because he has been extradited to the U.S., and, according to one intelligence source, is likely in the country to help the FBI make its case against Clinton."

Maybe Guccifer and others are putting the final nails in the coffin. I hope he has good protection.

I can't even wrap my head around the treasonous guilt I would feel for knowingly, ahead of time, placing our whole Federal Database in jeopardy by doing all her private and Secretary of State business at home in a private email server. I found out about a month ago she didn't even have a server/email account at the State Department! Can you imagine? Why she doesn't drop out of the race out of embarrassment is beyond me.

Twenty guesses America why she wanted all of her business dealings, private dealings totally private. Bingo, you're right!

Okay, now it's up to Comey and the FBI. My gut tells me he'll do the right thing and recommend indictment to Loretta Lynch. His reputation and that of the FBI are on the line. Plus he can lateral arabesque this hot potato over to Loretta Lynch. What she does with it is the big question. If she's ethical and competent her next steps are either a grand jury or special counsel/prosecutor. We'll see.

Past musings on the Hillary email/server scandal: Hillary's Server Conundrum: Is it going away? and Hillary Clinton's Email and Server Scandal: Summary Review and Recommendations.

As a sidebar, by all accounts Loretta Lynch is competent. But, as in all things in Washington D.C. currently, it's all about Obama and race. So Lynch will be forced to do nothing. I don't envy her position. Maybe she'll surprise us all.

We're either a Nation of Laws, or We are Not.

No matter what happens, the extent of the damage that occurs will be devastating to Hillary in the general. If she's indicted, she's done. If Lynch and Obama do nothing, it will skyrocket Trump's numbers. Keep in mind, Obama violated Federal Law when he saw she had a private server and said or did Nothing. So, the likely scenario is Comey will do the right thing, Lynch and Obama will continue to do nothing and Trump will beat crooked Hillary in a landslide. Throw in a terrorist attack or two and it's a done deal.

Okay, lets talk about the first 100 days. That's more fun.

"...Keep in mind, Obama violated Federal Law when he saw she had a private server and said or did Nothing. ..."

Hillary Clinton's Felony. The federal laws violated by the private server

Obama better lawyer up. He saw and Knew Hillary Clinton was operating a private server at her home and Not at a State Dept email address:

Will Loretta Lynch do the right thing and investigate Obama?
